The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
This model demonstrates an efficient approach to simulating a thin, spherical, large radome using a 2D axisymmetric formulation with cubic discretization. The axisymmetric method captures full 3D behavior for azimuthally symmetric geometries at only a fraction of the computational cost. ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to create domains for modeling inside and outside of an imported CAD assembly. You will also learn how to use the defeaturing tools for deleting details from the imported geometry. Read More
This model demonstrates one way of using equation-based modeling for generative design by using the powerful mathematical expression capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics®. Read More
In applications where pressure waves and elastic waves propagate in porous materials filled with air both thermal and viscous losses are important. This is typically the case in insulation materials for room acoustics or lining materials in car cabins. Another example is porous materials ... Read More
Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) describes a nonlinear interaction between light and sound. In optical fibers, SBS can be detrimental for power or communication purposes, but can be leveraged for sensing applications. The SBS gain spectrum quantifies the optic-acoustic mode ... Read More
A steel ball is pressed down against a rubber membrane. When the contact pressure exceeds a certain value, the two parts start sticking together. When the ball is retracted, the membrane is pulled upwards in the bonded region. During the retraction, the bond is partially broken. This ... Read More
This example studies heat transfer in a square column. Cold and hot temperature conditions are applied to the boundaries. Due to the symmetry of the problem, the geometry is simplified to half of the square. The temperature field is compared with the analytic data. This example ... Read More
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... Read More
In this example, the etching of silicon in a CF4/O2 plasma reactor is studied using a global model. Parametric sweeps for ion energy and oxygen mole fraction are computed. Read More
This is a conceptual model of a microphone placed in an infinite baffle (flush mounted). The purpose is to determine the free-field level correction curve of the setup, which includes the exterior domain, microphone grid, and volume between the grid and the diaphragm. The microphone ... Read More
